31DC2015 - Day 6; violet - Purple pencil nail art

Day 6 in the 31dc2015 and it's violet nails. However I guess violet or purple doesn't matter. I got a fun stamping idea that felt good for purple (so yes, this is something as unusual as a NOTD). I used my stamping plate from Born Pretty Store which I got for review and has talked about HERE before. I feel very happy that stamping has started to get simpler, and you who has followed me for long know that I've struggled before. I think I've reach a huge improvement this year, and I'm aware that all nails aren't perfect but I think that each time gets better and better at least. :)

I started with a violet base and then stamped the full pattern on each of my nails except one accent. On my accent I picked up the pattern as usual but removed all pencils except one from the stamper and then stamped that in the middle of my nail. After everything was dry I used a Promarker pencil and filled in some color inside the pencils and also made the colored parts on my accent. Really happy how this turned out. :)

Essence - A Whisper Of Spring

31DC2015 - Day 1; red - Red 'kiss me' skittelette nail art

Finally the first day of the 31 day challenge! I've missed this challenge a lot and last September I didn't have time for it. To be able to make the challenge this September I've decided to use partial of posts from my unpublished archive to be able to fill every day. Because of changing apartments and stuff I atm got like 5 polishes left to play with which means I have to buy some more in the end of this challenge (ooh poor me, right? ;) ) so I hope you don't mind that. :)

But here goes Day 1 - Red which I've chosen to call Red skittelette nail art. This one took quite some work. I was at the time I did this one very unsure of stamping and decided to make the text out of decals, which I figured I could cut out and place. That turned out horrible, I used SV for my decals and they got too thick and hard so I built up some curage and stamped the text directly on the nail, and wow, not too bad for a beginner imho. XD I also placed some rhinestones on my accent nail and did a gradient. I really like this combo and wouldn't mind recreating it in this color of even another color. Hope you like it! :)

Polishes used:
MoYou Stamping plate
P2 - Dating Time (swatch here)
Golden Rose - no 27 (swatch here)
MoYou Special White Polish (swatch and review here)
MoYou rhinestone wheel.


Also as I've stated before there is an offer for you on MoYou's site; if you buy a nail art set, any of you choice, you can pick one polish OR one image plate of your choice if you use my special offer code CEL246. Which polish or the number of the image plate you want, you write at the comment section at the checkout. You can use the code as many times you want, as long as you buy a nail art set. :D

Swedish National Day nail art

Today it's the Swedish National Day. Sweds aren't that nationalistic for different reasons and celebrations aren't that big comparing to other countries. However I have some suiting nails for the occasion, which I had on in Germany last summer in the end. Blue and yellow are fun together, I want to make more designs with that, not because of the swedish flag, but because the colors compliment each other well.

I made a yellow base, after that I stamped the shit out of my self, each nail is stamped like 4 times to get the "full mani pattern". Then I added a gold metal stud tear drop rhinestone on each. First I have camera photos, but in the end I have some phone photos, just because those showed the color better, the camera made the color too popping. Hope you'll like this. :)

Polishes used:
MoYou special blue polish
MoYou Image Plate N11 
Adena - 51, swatch
Gold metal stud tear drop rhinestone (bought from ebay)

N11, look at the tiny little floral pattern which I used to cover my whole nail with.

Phone pics. The top picture is very color accurate.

If you buy a nail art set, any of you choice, you can pick one polish OR one image plate of your choice if you use the code CEL246.

NCC presents: Fimo flower nail art with stamped leafs in pink and blue

Hi! Here is the last of the May theme Spring Flowers for the Nail Challenge Collaborative. I figured it was some time since I used some fimos and I decided for some pink flower fimos. For this I decided to use a blue base and then stamp leafs with my new Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate I bought for some weeks ago. I'm really happy with this, both color combo and everything. Hope you like it too. :)

Here you see the image plate in full. It's the BP-50 and has four full pattern. Each pattern is big enough for my long nails and I experience the pattern to be well etched and easy to pick up. I bought this plate from BornPrettyStore, and if you want too, you can use my 10% discount code: NGL91

Polishes and materials used:
Heart Shape & Leave Texture Nail Art Stamping Template Image Plate BORN PRETTY BP50
China Glaze - Bohemian Blues
MoYou's special pink nail polish (for the actual review, click the link)
Fimos (which Ive cut out my self and put in a wheel)

NCC presents: Iron Fist fashion inspired nail art

I love making fashion inspired nail art and for my second post in the "inspired by fashion" theme for The Nail Challenge Collaborative I decided to make a nail art inspired by Iron Fist products. I decided for a collection I think is called Slow Dance which has black and white houndstooth pattern, red floral pattern on black, skulls, and sometime gold elements.

source

I decided to make version which fitted for a manicure and came up with this below. Stamped houndstooth pattern in b&w then parts with red flowers (I did white dots and then filled them in with red to make them pop) and gold metal beads in the center of the flowers. As accents I painted a black base and then used these Born Pretty Store skull metal studs (which looks really similar to the skull on the third platform above). I was super happy with this result! I know this manicure isn't for everyone but that goes for the Iron Fist items as well. Hope you'll enjoy, because now it's photo spam. ^^

Polishes and materials used:
MoYou special white polish (reviews here) 
MoYou special red polish (reviews here)
Rival De Loop -  406 (black creme)
Konad Stamping plate - M63
Metal Bead rhinestones in gold

Born Pretty Store 5Pcs 3D Nail Art Decoration Dazzling Skull Mask Design (in gold)

 

Here are some more pictures of the skulls from Born Pretty Store. I applied them with super glue and they lasted on my nails for 3 days. They come in 5 pieces and is available in gold and silver. The size is 8x7MM and the width is roughly 1MM, the skulls are also C-shaped and fits therefore pretty good on my nails. I really like them and recommend them and I didn't have any problem with the size. I also applied top coat all over my nail and also the skull. (I've actually saved the two skulls I used and I'll reuse them later) However if your nails are very short the skull decoration might look over sized.

So, if you're interested of getting these or any other decorations I have a 10% discount code at Born Pretty Store for you to use. Just type in NGL91 at checkout.

Also don't forget this offer too: If you buy a nail art set, any of you choice, you can pick one polish OR one image plate of your choice if you use the code CEL246.
